Respect

R	Respect yourself is a key thing
E	Excel at your schoolwork and life
S	Show that you’re trying
P	Perfection is not needed
E	Express yourself creatively but be respectful
C	Can’t is a word that doesn’t exist
T	Try your best

If you want my respect Well then you must earn it And you do that when you show An effort to do what you can Not only in your schoolwork But also in your everyday life too.
If we can work together And have respect for one another There’s nothing that can stop us From making this the best No matter what we strive for But it’s all up to you.

This poem has helped me to find out what R.E.S.P.E.C.T means to me. Seriously though, wouldn't it be an awesome world if people worked with everyone's best interest mind and people respected one another as equals? Maybe one day, in a dimension we do not yet know of...  -KMD
